Families in Chile, Argentina, and Spain have initiated various solidarity and fundraising efforts to support children facing severe medical challenges, including brain tumors, rare diseases, and neurological conditions.

In Chile, efforts include a campaign for 12-year-old Ilia Aedo Cárcamo to cover expenses related to her brain tumor treatment and a benefit bingo for 10-year-old Paola Andrea Núñez Cordero to fund a cranial MRI for microcephaly and cerebral palsy. In Argentina, a family is seeking 12,000 USD to fund experimental treatment in Mexico for five-year-old Lola, who suffers from cerebral palsy.

Additionally, in Spain, more than 30 families with children suffering from pediatric oncology or rare diseases participated in a solidarity camp in Gran Canaria to provide mutual support and respite from medical routines.
